Note: Minutes Papers are not required for Fall 2013 Social Media In Business, Mala Chandra, Instructor


Students continually express interest in learning from each other, and Minute Papers are a great way to process the week’s material and spark discussion at a group level.

Minute Papers will be hosted on the program blog. Here’s how it works:
  • Each week, the TA will post to the course blog and ask students to share their thoughts in the comments section below the post.
  • Students are required to “comment” on these posts at least once a week — that’s 10 times each quarter.
  • Students must also “reply” to others’ comments a minimum of 5 times per quarter.
  • IMPORTANT: Comments and replies are different — comment on a post in the main comments section; reply to a classmate’s comment by choosing “reply” underneath his/her comment.

Keep 'em short — hence the term "Minute Paper." But keep the conversation going by sharing insights, resources, key findings, links and more!

Minute Papers provide students the chance to communicate with each other in between classes. Students are encouraged to think critically about the subject matter and share personal stories and anecdotes that are relevant to each week’s conversation.
